    A powder move: India is now growing its own matcha (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    But the figures weren’t really the point. With that sale in July, an 83-year-old tea plantation in Tinsukia, Assam, became the first in India to sell homegrown matcha, commercially, at auction. The specialty leaves were grown and processed at the Chota Tingrai Tea Estate, where the variant has been named Matcha Assamica (from the native Camellia assamica used to make it). “It is distinctly Indian,” says Mrityunjay Jalan, 34, who heads Jalan Industries and the tea estate with his sister, Avantika

    “It’s gonna get easier and easier... and more and more pleasurable, to be alone with images on a screen, given to us by people who do not love us but want our money.” That was David Foster Wallace, author of the modern classic Infinite Jest (1996), talking to David Lipsky for Rolling Stone magazine, about the potential impact of the internet.

    It’s one battle after another all through the fifth and final season of The Bear (2022-2026). Chicago chefs Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) and Syd (Ayo Edebiri) can’t seem to catch a break: a bad review, delayed deliveries, failing team spirits, a torrential storm that floods the basement. Amid the chaos, they’re still hoping to earn a Michelin star. Then, in a moment of rare calm, we see Syd prep a batch of short ribs. Between a ceiling collapse and quarrelling employees, she sautees the beef with

    Wood you look at that?: Inside India’s lichen and gymnosperm gardens (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Two of Earth’s oldest survivors live on in the forests of Uttarakhand. One group, the gymnosperms, typically reach for the skies, as pine trees, firs and conifers. The other, lichen, cling to rocks, bark and soil. Gymnosperms is literally “naked seed”. These plants don’t bear flowers and fruit. They date to a period so long ago (over 300 million years) that there were no fruits or flowers yet. (Those features would evolve, in a different set of species, about 145 million years ago). Lichen, a sy

    On the same wavelength: Why do we like the same birdsongs that birds like? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

He was talking about plumes, feathers and, yes, sound too. Now, a paper published in the journal Science, in March, confirms that humans do indeed share a range of acoustic preferences with other animals. The paper is the result of a study by Logan S James, an animal communications research associate at University of Texas, Austin, along
